ITEMS IN NEED OF REPAIR BEFORE POURING THE CONCRETE

1. There is damaged and missing post tension cable sheathing at the ends in various locations. The tension
cables should be covered at all points from beginning to end. This condition should be corrected prior to
pouring the concrete. All of the exposed post tension cable ends should be wrapped with Teflon tape
and/or 6-mil plastic. These help prevent the concrete from adhering to the post tension cables.
2. One of the beams needs to be widened in the front porch area. The beam measured 10-inches. The beam
should be a minimum of 12-inches wide.
3. The steel rebar is in contact with the post tension cable at the front porch area. The tension cable should
be wrapped with plastic or Teflon tape before the concrete is poured.
4. All of the post tension cables need to be properly raised off of the pad floor and suspended a minimum
of 2-inches off the finished grade at and around the back porch area.
5. The plastic vapor barrier is applied over the top of some of the cables. This condition should be
corrected to help prevent air-pocket from occurring in the beam areas.
6. All openings in the plastic vapor barrier should be closed and taped.
7. The plastic vapor barrier does not extend fully into the beam area and overlap by 6-inches. This should
be corrected before the concrete is poured.
8. All debris in the foundation beam trenches needs to be cleaned out before the concrete is poured.
9. It is recommended to add two addition steel rebar stands in the lower portion of the large footer in the
back porch.
10. It is recommended to add two addition steel rebar strands in the lower portion of the front porch footer.
11. Backfill dirt is needed on the south former board.
12. The Pex water lines are not properly protected and/or covered with insulation. This condition should be
corrected prior to pouring the concrete.
13. The waste pipes are not properly protected and/or covered with insulation. This condition should be
corrected prior to pouring the concrete.
